Very good support and fast connection
I was impressed that Google find my web in lest than 8 hours after changing domain servers. The team very helpful...they take care of absolute beginners like me
Excellent Service!
Really impressed with the speed of service and the hosting capabilities.
Well done, at last someone has got it right!
Efficient and quick
I've set up a few websites with these guys, and every time it's gone smoothly and worked without any problems. Very little outage over years. Great team!
Too little bandwidth
5quidhost feedback is great and I was looking forward to use their services, but 0.1 GB monthly bandwith, which they offer for free, is not enough, so in the end I decided not to use their services.

Really good value
I chose the free package and you don't get better value for money than that. The signup and setup was simple. The features are outstanding and the servers feel very fast and reliable indeed.
The package came with preinstalled scripts that can install various software, blogs, forums, etc at the press of a button.
A very pleasant experience indeed.
Swift and value for money
Had used this host previously for a one off month and had zero issues with an absolutely lightning fast setup time, good speeds an ample cPanel package (including fantastico). Switched host to an Irish provider who had their servers in the US and had to change due to abysmal service so I paid for hosting with 5quidhost again and transfered my domain, wonderful service and here's to a few years without a hitch.
Still amazed that they offer a free account!
To be honest, I wanted to just see if it was true - could a good host also offer a free account that was any good? Wow - not only good, but FAST setup and FAST site! So I've left my website up there, and it's brilliant - for what I need. Totally recommended!
"Does what it says on the tin"
Setup is fast, I have several websites hosted & reliability seems good. The one time I had to contact tech support my email was answered quickly and the issue was resolved first time.
The standard plans may not have enough resources (CPU etc) for very busy or complicated websites but for normal small business use they are fine.
Very good, no problems
Very good, no problems. straight forward, no hidden charges etc
Consistently Excellent Customer Service
I've been a customer of 5quidhost for over 6 years, both for my own websites and for clients. In addition to reliable service and good value pricing for hosting plans that actually make sense, 5quidhost consistently provides excellent customer service with prompt, clear responses to all enquiries, both for sales and support. Highly recommended!
Do what they say they do
Just good hosting! Have used their support a couple of times and response was very quick and helpful. No issues so far
So far, so good
Have used a few web hosting providers in the past but these guys have been hassle free so far and their support service has been great. In short, does what it says on the tin and with minimal pain. I used to have lots of hassle with Wordpress deployments with a couple of other providers - here has been dead simple with no random errors or problems.
Excellent value, solid support and great servers
I have used 5quidhost for nearly 3 years now for a variety of websites for business and personal use. I've found them to be great value, with simple admin and no fuss. They are clear on their website about the type of support you will receive (email only, no phone) and they deliver this perfectly. I've had problems in the past with non-UK hosting where attempting to describe your issue and have it understood by the support agent can be a long and frustrating process - not so with 5quidhost who get it and have been very helpful.
Keep up the good work.
Good all round service
I started out with a simple plan which the site I was working on quickly outgrew. I was at first disappointed at the speed the site was running at so changed to a Turbo plan.
The Support whilst doing this was of a very good standard and now the changes have been made, the site runs a lot quicker.
All in all I've been pretty impressed. Problems are usually resolved quickly. Not being very technical myself, it is always helpful working with people who can communicate well and the support staff did a great job with this.
I've had a couple of issues since getting the hosting but all have been resolved quickly and efficiently.
Helpful, sensible and quick response
I managed to overwrite an entire Wordpress website when updating with (the somewhat unintuitive) Softaculous. A mini-crisis.
The team were able to get the whole site back up and running just an hour after my support request.
I had opted for their 'Turbo' package which, it turns out, includes backups. I had forgotten about this feature, in my panic.
I then had a very helpful and constructive email exchange about backup options. It was proper help from a tuned-in person.
Many thanks.
